<h3>James is a fourth generation Floridian, a dad, husband, national security expert, and proud U.S. Coast Guard veteran.</h3>After spending nearly ten years protecting the United States from enemies foreign and domestic, he’s running for Congress because Brian Mast is failing Florida families. James is laser focused on the economy and cost of living to put more money in the pockets of hardworking Floridians. From curbing chaotic tariffs, to combatting skyrocketing property insurance, ending the clean water crisis, and lowering healthcare costs, James is running to make the economy work better for everyone — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike.Born and raised in Hobe Sound, Florida, where his family has called home since the early 1930s. The son of a small business owner and a public-school teacher, James is a proud product of Martin County Public Schools (Go South Fork Bulldogs!). James’ father still runs Diamond Transfer &amp; Garage, the small business his great-grandfather started in 1934.James was fortunate to combine his love of the ocean–forged growing up surfing, fishing, and diving–with a desire to serve his country by joining the U.S. Coast Guard. James brought the very best of Florida to the Coast Guard, serving on four ships from combat zones in the Middle East to drug trafficking lanes in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean. He was selected to command two Coast Guard cutters in Fort Pierce, FL, where he spent two years keeping South Florida’s maritime border safe from human traffickers and drug runners.All told, his Coast Guard teams were responsible for the seizure of more than 200 tons of illicit narcotics with a street value of more than $3.5 billion, the detainment and onward prosecution of more than 450 suspected drug traffickers, and the interdiction of more than 250 migrants at sea.His last assignment on active duty was the Chief of Staff for National Security Affairs and Executive Secretary of the Office of the Vice President at the White House from 2022-2025, where he served both Vice President Harris and Vice President Vance.James holds a commission as a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve and is a proud life member of the Society of the Cincinnati, the nation’s oldest patriotic organization composed of direct descendants of Continental Army and Navy officers who served in the American War for Independence. James carries forward a deep legacy of defending freedom and putting country before self.

NEWS & PRESS

Hobe Sound, FL – Today, James Martin, a fourth generation Floridian, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and national security expert, announced his campaign for the United States House of Representatives in Florida’s 21st Congressional District. With deep roots in Martin County and a distinguished record of military service, Martin is challenging incumbent Brian Mast, citing a failure to deliver for Florida families on the most pressing issues of the day.“Our leaders in Washington like Brian Mast are out of touch,” said Martin, “Florida families are working harder than ever for less and less. I deployed to combat zones, patrolled drug trafficking lanes, and protected Florida’s maritime border. I didn’t do it for a party, or one President, I did it for the country I swore an oath to serve. I’m ready to bring that same dedication to Washington to fight for a better future for Floridians.”With proven leadership and a mission focused mindset that puts country over party, Martin is running for Congress to lower the cost of living, fix the Treasure Coast’s water quality crisis and strengthen the economy for everyone, no matter their politics.Watch his announcement video<span class="image video image-center" data-embed="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/z-VYjNGNyF0?si=ab5UeLe2hbcGl7L4&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;" style="width: 60%;"><img imageurl="https://run.imgix.net/cc19239b-60f5-4925-93ee-66814e8d4e8e/b98b6044-21b0-4a38-8468-7bafa2916aec/b98b6044-21b0-4a38-8468-7bafa2916aec.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C3420%2C1924&amp;w=1500" embedcode="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/z-VYjNGNyF0?si=ab5UeLe2hbcGl7L4&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;" align="center" alignwidth="30" src="https://run.imgix.net/cc19239b-60f5-4925-93ee-66814e8d4e8e/b98b6044-21b0-4a38-8468-7bafa2916aec/b98b6044-21b0-4a38-8468-7bafa2916aec.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C3420%2C1924&amp;w=1500" data-embed="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/z-VYjNGNyF0?si=ab5UeLe2hbcGl7L4&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"><span class="video-button-placeholder" data-embed="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/z-VYjNGNyF0?si=ab5UeLe2hbcGl7L4&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"><h4>About James Martin</h4>The son of a small business owner and public school teacher, James Martin is rooted in working class values that define the Treasure Coast.

Coast Guard Veteran James Martin Announces Run for Florida’s 21st Congressional District

HOBE SOUND — Today, James Martin’s campaign announced that Veterans for Responsible Leadership (VFRL) has officially endorsed his campaign for Florida’s 21st Congressional District. VFRL is a nonpartisan 527 organization committed to supporting principled candidates across the nation who bring integrity, leadership, and real-world expertise to elected office. “Veterans for Responsible Leadership is proud to endorse James Martin for Congress in Florida’s 21st District. James’s exemplary service in the U.S. Coast Guard brings the tested leadership and expertise our country desperately needs. He represents a new generation ready to deliver real results for the American people and our national security. James is a proven leader who gets things done,” said VFRL Executive Director Scott Peoples.As a proud U.S. Coast Guard veteran, I’m honored to have the support of Veterans for Responsible Leadership,” said James Martin. Veterans know what it means to serve something bigger than ourselves and to get the mission done. That’s exactly what Florida’s 21st District needs—a representative who will deliver real results instead of empty rhetoric. I’m ready to bring that&nbsp; commitment to the halls of Congress.”VFRL’s endorsement follows recent backing from Former Mayor Eric Jablin and Former Mayor David Levy, two former City of Palm Beach Gardens leaders whose support underscores Martin’s growing momentum among community leaders across the district.###

Endorsement builds on growing coalition of local officials and community leaders

Veterans for Responsible Leadership Endorses James Martin for Congress

HOBE SOUND, FL — James Martin, national security expert, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and Democratic candidate for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, continues to be a leading voice for clarity and accountability on the Administration’s illegal and counterproductive airstrikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific Ocean. Martin spoke with Newsmax, MeidasTouch, Scripps News, and Courier Newsroom this week to break down the strikes, and to call out officials like Rep. Brian Mast for enabling dangerous misinformation. Martin, who has interdicted drug smugglers at sea firsthand, overseen multi-national and multiagency counter-drug operations, and worked on U.S. counter-narcotics policy at the White House, sharply criticized the false narratives being pushed to justify the strikes. “While this administration and its enablers like Brian Mast and Tom Cotton want to lie about everything from skyrocketing costs to these reckless and unlawful airstrikes, the American people see right through it,” Martin said. Martin underscored that the Administration’s claims defy basic operational realities and are counterproductive to the United States’ interests. As the only candidate in the FL-21 race with national security policy expertise, Martin continues to push for accountability and transparency as the Administration’s shifting explanations raise more questions than answers. While Rep. Mast is supporting a dangerous regime change agenda that could embroil the United States in another foreign conflict for years to come. With proven leadership and a mission-focused mindset that puts country over party, Martin is running for Florida’s 21st congressional district to lower the cost of living, fix the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis, and strengthen the economy for everyone, no matter their politics.###Appearances can be seen at: <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/coast-guard-narco-boats-venezuela/2025/12/09/id/1237628/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Newsmax</a>, <a href="https://x.com/martinforfl/status/1998440555550765539?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MeidasTouch</a>, <a href="https://x.com/martinforfl/status/1998440555550765539?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scripps News</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSIytskCWn8/?igsh=MW41ZTlnZmRyYmNkdA%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Courier Newsroom</a>.

ICYMI: James Martin Calls Out Administration’s “Reckless and Unlawful” Caribbean Airstrikes in Appearances on Newsmax, MeidasTouch, Scripps News and Courier Newsroom

HOBE SOUND, FL — Following American air strikes on Iranian soil, James Martin releases a statement on Trump’s air strikes. Martin served as second in command of CGC Monomoy, forward deployed to the Arabian Gulf from 2017-2018. “I believe the Iranian regime is evil. I stand with the Iranian people, support Israel’s security, and deeply respect our servicemembers. But none of that requires silence in the face of what looks like a reckless rush to war, one that has not been explained or justified to the American people,” said James Martin. “From my time serving in the Middle East and at the White House, I know there are hard-nosed ways to confront Iran without sending American kids into harm’s way: enforce sanctions, isolate the regime globally, support Iran’s democracy movement, and apply sustained pressure. Instead, this Administration appears to have engaged the U.S. military in strikes to herald regime change with no Congressional authorization, no clear mission, and no exit plan. That’s not strength, that’s recklessness. Our troops and the American people deserve better.” # # #

Former Arabian Gulf Coast Guard Vet, James Martin, Releases Statement on Today’s Air Strikes

HOBE SOUND, FL — <a href="https://www.jamesmartinforflorida.com/">James Martin</a>, national security expert, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and Democratic candidate for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, is calling on Rep. Brian Mast to hold hearings or direct a formal investigation into the illegal airstrikes conducted in September. While on Fox’s Life, Liberty &amp; Levin, Brian Mast claimed that Venezuela is an “imminent, proven, pervasive threat” when it comes to narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean. Yet according to the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF10400">2025 National Drug Threat Assessment</a>, Mexico-based transnational criminal organizations remain the primary suppliers of illicit drugs, including fentanyl, for the U.S. market. Instead of focusing on root causes, Rep. Mast is supporting a dangerous <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/02/regime-change-was-once-a-red-line-for-america-first-venezuela-could-change-that-00673726">regime change agenda</a> that could embroil the United States in another foreign conflict for years to come. “The American people deserve to know why taxpayer dollars are being spent on reckless strikes on alleged drug trafficking vessels and potential military action against Venezuela while Florida families are facing underfunded schools, crumbling infrastructure, and rising costs,” said James Martin. “Rep. Mast, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, has chosen to parrot partisan talking points instead of demanding accountability for these unlawful airstrikes.” Martin is the only candidate in the FL-21 race with national security policy experience, and is committed to bringing accountability, transparency, and a public-servant’s focus back to Washington on behalf of Florida’s 21st Congressional District. With proven leadership and a mission focused mindset that puts country over party, Martin is running for Florida’s 21st congressional district to lower the cost of living, fix the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis, and strengthen the economy for everyone, no matter their politics. ###

James Martin Calls On Rep. Mast, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair, to Launch Formal Investigation Into Hegseth’s Illegal Airstrikes on Venezuelan Vessels

HOBE SOUND — Today, the James Martin for Congress campaign announced “Ending Insider Privilege,” a sweeping anti-corruption platform designed to restore public trust and stop senior federal officials from profiting off their positions. The package directly targets the ability of Members of Congress and executive officials to enrich themselves while in office.<ul><li>Ban individual stock trading, trading crypto currency, or participating in speculative betting markets by the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, Executive Branch appointees, Supreme Court Justices, and their immediate family members.&nbsp;</li><li>Lifetime Ban on serving as registered lobbyists for Members of Congress and their immediate family members.</li><li>Ban on accepting personal gifts of more than $20 by the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, Executive Branch appointees, and Supreme Court Justices.</li><li>Constitutional Amendment overturning the Citizens United decision, banning the unlimited spending of dark money by corporations and individuals.&nbsp;</li><li>Block pay for Members of Congress during government shutdowns.</li><li>Establish term limits for Members of Congress.</li><li>Limit Presidential pardon powers.</li></ul>“In Florida’s 21st District, people work hard, play by the rules, and expect their leaders to serve with integrity not cater to the wealthy few,” said James Martin. “Members of Congress are not above the people they serve. Public service comes with responsibility, not special privileges. If we want to end corruption and restore trust in our government, then we must end insider privilege and put the public first. I welcome every candidate, including Brian Mast, in this race to join me in taking this pledge.”###

Commonsense reforms to end insider privilege and restore integrity in the halls of Congress

James Martin for Congress Unveils Anti-Corruption Policy Platform,  “Ending Insider Privilege”

HOBE SOUND — Following a well-attended, untelevised candidate forum hosted by Florida180 in Palm Beach Gardens on Sunday, March 22, Brian Mast showed his support for the one candidate that didn’t participate in the forum, Pia Dandiya, and voiced his vexation with public debates. Mast shared on X: “I talk to people in our community every day and have held dozens upon dozens of town halls and forums. I agree with @PiaforCongress that staged debates aren’t a useful part of the campaign process anymore. I’d rather talk to actual voters than perform for a moderator to boost TV ratings or social media views.” One of the top complaints heard in Florida's 21st Congressional District is that incumbent, Brian Mast, does not face his constituents nearly enough, and it is telling that he is encouraging candidates to skip candidate forums and public debates in the Democratic primary to unseat him. James Martin strongly believes in the power of the democratic process, and that forums and debates are a crucial part of selecting the best candidate to face Republican incumbent Brian Mast come November.&nbsp; “If you’re the best candidate who can help Floridians from rising costs and are ready to create policies that increase prosperity, then prove it,” Martin responds. Brian Mast constantly ducks his constituents because he <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/16/anger-erupts-town-halls-lawmakers/83116024007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">does not want to be held accountable</a> for: skyrocketing costs, a war of choice, stripping healthcare from thousands along with many of the other unpopular policies of the Trump administration that he cheerleads daily. James Martin formally invites Brian Mast to participate in a public debate so that constituents can have the ability to choose for themselves who they think the best candidate is to represent the Treasure Coast.&nbsp; ###

James Martin Campaign Responds to Brian Mast Discouraging Debates

HOBE SOUND — Today, the Washington Post highlighted that James Martin’s primary opponent, Pia Dandiya, holds up to $15,000 in Palantir stock. Dandiya had previously refused to file her financial disclosure required by House ethics rules for seven months, a violation subject to fines. Palantir, owned by Trump acolyte and billionaire, Peter Thiel, is helping the Trump administration track undocumented immigrants and deport them faster. James Martin responded to the headline saying: “If we want to end corruption and restore trust in government, we cannot elect representatives beholden to corporations like Palantir or who personally profit from them. Voters should not have to trade one special interest-backed politician for another with a different party label.”&nbsp; Martin is calling for Dandiya to dump her Palantir stock. Florida has one of the highest concentrations of immigrants in the country, and in February, Palantir announced it was relocating its headquarters to Miami. Having ties to the technology firm directly linked to the Trump Administration’s inhumane and extreme immigration enforcement raises questions about the authenticity of Dandiya’s campaign. It also draws new scrutiny on Dandiya neglecting to release a public statement in the wake of the murders of Alex Pretti and Nicole Goode in Minneapolis. Martin wants voters to have complete transparency in who they are putting their support behind to unseat Brian Mast, adding, “it’s too important to get this wrong and the people of the Treasure Coast and Northern Palm Beaches must always come first—that’s the job.” ###

James Martin Campaign Condemns Primary Opponent for Holding Stock in Palantir

HOBE SOUND, FL — James Martin, Democratic candidate for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, today announced the endorsement of two respected local leaders: Former Mayor Eric Jablin and Former Mayor David Levy. Their support reflects growing momentum behind Martin’s bid to unseat Brian Mast and bring new leadership to the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County communities that make up FL-21. Together, these former City of Palm Beach Gardens mayors represent a community integral to Florida’s 21st congressional district, underscoring Martin’s rising support among officials who have served closest to the day-to-day needs of residents. “I’m honored to earn the support of these respected former mayors,” said James Martin. “We are building a grassroots movement powered by the people who make this community so special. As the great nephew of former Palm Beach Gardens Mayor Bob Diamond, these endorsements carry deep personal meaning for me and my family. With these leaders joining our coalition, I know we can deliver a better future for every family in Florida’s 21st Congressional District.” Joint Statement: “James Martin understands what Floridians are facing as a fourth-generation Floridian, a father raising his child here, and a Coast Guard veteran who has served this country. James will fight to lower the cost of living, fix the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis, and strengthen the economy for everyone—and he has the policymaking experience at the Federal level to deliver. We trust James to be a strong partner and advocate, and we look forward to working with him to tackle some of Florida’s most pressing issues.” ###
